Overclocked Gaming Monster! | Red Magic 8S Pro Review

Unboxing the Red Magic 8S Pro with a review of the gaming performance, now with an overclocked 'Leading' edition of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The Red Magic 8S Pro is one of the best value gamer smartphones in 2023, also boasting a 6000mAh battery, crispy AMOLED screen with hidden in-display camera and premium specs.

UK price and release date info hopefully coming soon as I've been testing and reviewing the Red Magic 8S Pro ahead of the official launch. Here's a link for more info: https://bit.ly/3pTQbtC

While some rumours had this gaming phone powered by a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 2, it's actually a boosted version of the original chipset with a pimped up prime core. Very similar to what Samsung crammed into its S23 smartphones. The Red Magic 8S Pro is one of the beefiest Android mobiles of 2023, blazing through Genshin Impact, PubG etc - helped by that feature-packed gaming mode.

Most of the other specs are familiar vs the Magic 8 Pro, including the huge 6000mAh battery. You've got a sharp and poppy AMOLED screen with zero notch or orifice action, thanks to the under-display camera. And the Red Magic 8S Pro doesn't disappoint with the other specs either. While I wouldn't want to use this as my full-time phone because of the huge design and lackluster cameras, it's certainly a cracker for gaming on the go.
